The addition of the drone footage is great! Nice upgrade to the vids!
Nevermind Jamie O'Brien and Koa Rothman. You guys are , hands down, my favorite surf explorers. YEW!
teleroi Awesome, wonderful compliment 🥰
OMG that brought me back to warmer times! well done guys! miss you 2 !
During that storm, first thing that came to my mind was high tide. Another great video👍
Hurricane Alley we definitely made sure to be above the high tide line. As surfers we knew when and how big the swings were, but that river and some flash flooding could have been scary. Fortunately Costa Rica was well into the rainy season so it was unlikely. That kind of rain is par for the course down there.
A knowledgeable massage therapist is the way to go. Oftentimes it's just strained muscles.
So many things to love. Wild Crocs, awesome live music soundtrack, satellites and optimism, drone shots, not getting stuck on the beach, and Amie’s smile, especially out the BB window!
Keep up the adventures! Love the truck and camper set up too,i also built a cab over style camper for my t100 a couple years ago as well ! Wish I could put a pic of it on here for u guys to see! My truck almost has 500,000 and going strong! Love Toyota's! Safe travels,corbin!
Wow, 500,000! Not messing around. haha bet you've had some cool adventures in that rig.
Exciting episode! Bummer about Matt’s neck, feel better soon!
i started watching your vids when i was visiting my parents in law in El Salvador 2018, “ i live in australia” you have inspired me to do the same trip as you！ i just need a bit more cash and planning as i broke my neck surfing 22 years ago and i use a wheelchair, i will start saving after our trip to Bali this september, thanks for sharing your journey and keep up the great work！ wheres the next big adventure in 2020？
That's so nice to hear. We think it's so cool that a lot of our viewers have done or are planning to do some travels like ours through these areas. It keeps us inspired :)
The next big adventure... is still in the planning and saving money stage I'm afraid. We really want to spend a couple years traveling around Africa but we don't have the money, so we may chose to go to Alaska for a few months in 2020 and then resign to stationary life to focus on saving for Africa
Looking up is kind of important for surfing! Bummer about your neck! What an EPIC adventure! Man I really love your videos!
Great video! We'll for sure refer back to it when we get down there!
Great video
11 thumbs up guys!
Where does your dog stay when you guys are out at night? Id like to do the same drive with my dog.
His bed is on a box in the cab of the truck level with the windows. We usually leave him in there or if we have the mosquito net set up under our awning, that's an option.
Ey guys !!! One question. How many millage did blue beauty have when you bought it ?. By the way your videos are very useful. Thanks for sharing the good and bad of this adventure.
thanks. blue beauty had 195,000 miles when we got her. she has 240000 now
Could u give me your favorite places to retire and surf, based on your experiences....please....
That is something we had in the back of our heads during our travels. Lots of factors Come into play, but I think the main one is how a place feels to you. There is an intangible that makes a place one person's paradise and another person's stop along the way.
Our list of places or regions that brought up the conversation for us included:
Southern Pacific Coast of Cost Rica (checkout the episode when we release it on Sunday)
Rivas District, Nicaragua
Michoacan/Guerrero, Mexico
Baja, Mexico
Hope this helps
I saw one of your videos where your swimming with a buoy
May I ask what type/kind/brand etc it is
I got it many years ago so I don't recall the brand. It's just one of the many inflatable "torpedo" buoys on Amazon. This one looks pretty similar: amzn.to/3EvuBx4
What troubles did you run into with a dog?
Our dog was pretty old when we set out on this trip and his health naturally worsened over the 2 years we spent traveling. Our only issues with the dog were centered around finding him a good vet or finding his medications when we needed them, but once we figured it out it was much cheaper. The only other issue was when we wanted to stay in a city. very few cities were "dog friendly". In David, Panama we had to stay in a pretty sketchy hotel while we were getting work done on our truck because none of the 20 other hotels we went to would except a dog.
We only technically had proper paper work for the dog at 1 border crossing the entire trip. Crossing into Belize we got him a fresh health cert in Mexico, but didn't pre apply with Belize and had to pay a fine to grant him entry. Crossing into Panama, they wanted up-to-date paperwork that we didn't have, but there was a veterinarian at the border that could produce it for us. The rest of the time the agents excepted our out-of-date health certificate from USA or just didn't care about the dog at all.
would you say road tripping through Central America is safe?
This trip was filmed before the Covid19 pandemic, so I don't know the current situation, but we enjoyed the trip, generally felt safe, and would happily do it again.
9:20 uh too bad you don't have a massage therapist with you...
mwilliamshs after an injury it’s out of my scope to even touch something like that for 72 hours. The pop and down the back had me very concerned. Before his adjustment which I know when a neck or back needs adjustments too. I did massage his neck at least twice. Adjustments work best after massage. As you know I’m the head filmmer so I guess I didn’t think to pull the camera out 😉
Driving at the beach ... double dislike 👎
